About

I'm a lifelong Chicago sports fan who grew up watching the White Sox on channel 44 with Harry Carey and Jimmy Piersall. Thanks to the Blackhawks, I can now say I've witnessed Chicago championships in the four major sports during my lifetime. Hopefully I'll be around to celebrate a few more.

I recently finished my first NHL season as a Chicago Blackhawks Featured Columnist. I also am a contributor to The Third Man In website (http://thethirdmanin.com). In addition, I am now proud to say that I am a FC on the Chicago White Sox page.

Excellent start for the Hawks, They have been really impressive. Looks like Bowmanns gamble on the D is playing off,or at least the great forwards up front are making them seem much better. Either way, Hawks look like the team to beat.

If you are interested in a fantasy hockey league I need a few more owners in an established yahoo league. It's the 7th year for my H2H points based league. Live draft is tomorrow night at 7:30. All of the owners are active all season. League ID is 34284 password is 1. I look forward to seeing you.

Hey Jon, nice piece on the 5 Blackhawks who need to step up in camp. Totally agree, but I think you might be handing 2nd line C to Kruger prematurely. If that DID happen, it would help the team (provided he can really do the job). I still question whether he's ready at C, or can be spotted at LW on different lines. Nice work regardless.
